Battle across time collection (Sideswipe and Skywarp)

[JJJ]

Fans who only want G1 characters will be forced to buy two separate two-packs instead of a single G1-themed two-pack. The same goes for fans who only want Beast Wars characters. In terms of increasing sales/annual profit it's a clever business decision by Hasbro.

Nah. If I can't find someone to split it with, I just won't buy it. I consider that the rational choice, rather than purchasing things I don't want. Hasbro loses money that way.

Am I the only one still rocking the Henkei/Universe 2.0 Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Red Alert?

As much as I like the new Countach mould, I'm not ready to replace my Henkei Countaches.

Well I retired mine. I much prefer the newer WFC figs.

BTW, Universe/Henkei = Lamborghini Gallardo (not Countach).

If anyone wants to split the double pack (I'm after Sideswipe only), I have a sale thread here.

The product page on Amazon Australia is now active for pre-ordering... for December ($77... almost $40 for each Deluxe).

[JJJ]

Ah damn it, the blasted things are unavailable now.

Is this usual for Amazon items? Will they pop up again as available some time before December?

They tend to come back around release time unless it's sold out. Hopefully they haven't. We may get access to the US listing eventually too.

[JJJ]

We had access to the US listing before the AU one appeared; it's what I originally linked to in my split the 2-pack thread. It also currently shows as unavailable.

[nalops]

But could you order from it with free shipping? That's what I mean by access. Sure, you could order from Amazon US directly but that means paying for postage.

[JJJ]

No idea why you call that access.

But anyway, no, it wasn't postage-free, but oddly enough it was still a couple of dollars cheaper than the postage-free price on the AU site...
